Notes
Always use fresh ginger and lemon for the best flavor. If you’re out of honey, try maple syrup or agave nectar as substitutes. For larger batches, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but be aware that the ginger flavor will intensify over time. Consider adding mint or cayenne pepper for an extra flavor boost. If making ahead of time, prepare ingredients separately to maintain freshness.
